Employer description
Zoox is on an ambitious journey to develop a full-stack autonomous mobility solution for cities. Simulation lets us test our driving software against far more scenarios than we can drive on public roads. For simulation results to count toward our safety case, we must show how closely the simulator matches reality and how much uncertainty the remaining difference adds to our safety metrics.
We are seeking a Simulation Systems Verification and Validation (Sim VnV) Lead to own that work across the full autonomy stack. You will define how to validate simulation at the sensor, perception, planning, and full-pipeline levels, lead the cross-functional program that executes the sim VnV program, and turn the results into clear evidence about when and where simulated miles can support safety clearance decisions. You will work closely with simulation, perception, planning, hardware, safety, data science, and systems engineering teams. This is a highly visible, technical leadership role on the critical path to safely scaling our service.
The ideal candidate demonstrates systems thinking, can lead a complex program across teams, and knows how to validate a model of a closed-loop system that has an AI controller inside it.
